Hindsight / survivorship bias affects this viewpoint.
You will never get it "right" the first time as much as you can avoid doing it "very wrong".
The key is to have enough experience and taste to appropriately break down problems into pieces that encapsulate the volatility of the various domains.
Then you can refactor easier which should be the real goal.
Prune and tend to the garden.

- hinkley 3y agoReversible decisions are a simple enough concept to grasp, but a difficult one to really comprehend. Some people see effective people making 'bad' decisions and miss the bit where there were eight bad ways to accomplish something and they rejected 6 as being more work overall. Then they take their misreading of the situation as justification for YOLOing decisions to avoid analysis paralysis.
